""I was really taken aback to see my face looking back at me a few moments later," said Chris Hanlon, a literature professor at ASU. After learning about Atomic, he prompted the AI to create a module on the history of literary critique-something he knew a lot about. He called the result 'Frankensteinian.'"
""One video of me was very modified from its original form-it was something I had uploaded to Canvas a long time ago. And then I saw many other videos of other faculty members ... and I contacted them all. Not one of them told me that they had been consulted about this. They never heard of Atomic.""
Arizona State University introduced a web app named Atom, enabling users to create personalized learning modules for $5 monthly. The AI chatbot utilizes instructional materials from ASU professors to tailor courses based on user preferences. Faculty members expressed surprise upon discovering their content was used without prior notification. Concerns arose regarding the ownership and control of educational materials, as well as the implications of AI in academic settings. Faculty members questioned the university's transparency and the ethical use of their intellectual property.
